[Mediocre Man]

Okay. After being luke warm on Olshey, I'm now firmly in the FIRE OLSHEY camp.

Welcome aboard

 

[BonesJones]

You guys would like me beret than Olshey as the GM, just saying.

 

[SportsAndWhine]

Funny to me that there’s still many on this board with any sort of hope or faith in this organization.

We are not well-run, folks. This organization is a total joke. Sorry to say.

Sorry but it's the truth?

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Apparently, after the Vonleh trade, EVERY thread is the meltdown thread....

 

[Mediocre Man]

great, so he's 0.

Or 96

 

[SwissBlazer]

I trade Olshey for Trader Bob!

I trade Olshey for a 32 years old euro player that won't ever come over.

 

[Sarni]

We have all our picks.
Aminu.
Davis.
Napier.
Some interest in Harkless.

Spoken just like Neil would say it.

Nobody is going to give you anything serious for any of them. Really.

 

[SportsAndWhine]

Or 96

or 70.4

 

[blue9]

Welcome to the club. More and more are starting to see him for what he really is....

For the record, I've always had VERY mixed thoughts about the guy. From the start I hated his hire of Terry. I've ALWAYS blasted his Free Agent choices. I've been mixed on his trade history. The only area in which he was better than average is in the draft. And because I feel that draft and trades are the ONLY way for us to build a team, I was willing to overlook his suckiness in the one area that's least important to our team. If he hadn't fucked himself with his inept Free Agency decisions then I'd be fine with him (not thrilled, but fine).

Lmao. We could get Randle for a 1st.

I heard a heavy Irish accent when I read this part...and still agree!

Depends, what color is you beret? Raspberry?

[Wizard Mentor]

Neil's decisions have actually been, on the whole, very, very good.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

HCP's new man crush.

 

[DDolla]

Leonard still a Blazer... He is truly Blessed.

Huh.. I always thought of you as more of a fedora guy, but maybe you can pull off the beret.

What?! I hope your joking.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Folks, we don't have the assets to do anything better.

Because (for example), Iman Shumpert, Channing Frye, and Jae Crowder (what the Cavs used to make their Lakers and Jazz/Kings deals) are a significantly better trio of assets than, say, Al-Farouq Aminu, Ed Davis, and Maurice Harkless?

No--we have assets, but they have been mismanaged and overvalued, and the FO is paralyzed by fear of making a bad deal.

Lol if being a ~.500 treadmill team is very very good...

 

[rotary111]

All I can say is thank god Vonleh is gone! What a locker room cancer he turned out to be. Single handily brought us down from a playoff contender to fringe playoff team. Good riddens!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

LOL Skip!

Missing the green font there, bud.

Would Clarkson, Joe Johnson or Nance make us so much better that it would be worth giving up first round pick?

All teams in that trade gave up something more valuable than what we would have been willing to offer and got less than we would need to make us much better.

 

[craigehlo]

Would Clarkson, Joe Johnson or Nance make us so much better that it would be worth giving up first round pick?

That's called a straw man argument. Nobody was advocating that.

You could get better players for our 1st rounder.

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

If the tradeline goes by with no trades then Neil needs to be fired

Or if he trades Nurk to get Jordan from the Clipps.

 

[rotary111]

HCP's new man crush.

You mean Mrs. HCP's new pool boy.

 

[DDolla]

So Batum was traded for Henderson/Vonleh and now for 32yr old Rakovic

 

[JDC]

You guys would like me beret than Olshey as the GM, just saying.

I'd like to see this just so you could be laughed off the phone trying to get 1sts for Davis and Napier.

 

[craigehlo]

We can officially count the Batum trade as yet another massive failure on Olshay.
